10 Worst Pick Up Lines and why they don’t work

When #10WorstPickUplines trended on Twitter for hours on Monday, we compiled the most popular and got to thinking. When was being cliché or obnoxious the way to a gay man’s heart or into his pants?

Maybe you’re shy. Perhaps you’re just looking for a conversation starter. Most likely, you’re drunk. But even if you’re tempted to use pick up lines due to a lack of confidence at Atlanta’s gay bars, by our analysis of the Twitter trend, you’re just coming off arrogant at best or desperate at worst.
